Comments Thread For: Jacobs Explains Missing IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for GGG Fight

[Lester Tutor]

Let's forget that Danny's team was the one getting excited over getting all the belts and then *****ed out. Convenient. Pretty sure if he opted out of the ibf, GGG wouldn't be required to get the 2nd day weigh in

Where in the IBF handbook does it say that if the challenger forfeits his position then the Champion overrules the rules? Lol. I know it sucks when we focus on the IBF. That's why there was a WBA and WBC!

Could have said at the negotiation table you didn't want to fight for the IBF title and there wouldn't have been a 2nd day weighin.

But im assuming also part of the plan was to control Golovkin's weight and to make sure he didn't rehydrate like he wanted to.

Wouldn't call it cheating (like some posters I know) but a cheap tactic that in the end didn't work.

Agree. They mentioned a few times that they will be the bigger fighter, and it sounds like it was one of the main strategies.

The fight didn't have ibf involvement at all if Danny wasn't fighting for it. The belt would stay with GGG and he wouldn't have to do the weigh in.

MFers act like ggg didn't run around talking about 168 for FOUR YEARS

MFers act like ggg didn't call out Froch/Chavez

if it only took a couple of extra pounds to give Golovkin problems..... how the fk was he going to live with Ward?

Jacobs was confirmed to be mid 180's bybHBO

Victor Conte and you own team said that was the plan all along, that you had at least 10lb + on GGG.. easy to figure out for everyone, even Kellerman said in the broadcast that his team said Jacobs will be 180+.. look at the face of his trainer when Jacobs said .. err probably 175.. LOL.. yeah buddy.. if you were 175 you would have stepped on the HBO scale.. boy was 182-186 and still afraid to engage and got dropped and his face turned into pumpkin pie.

Jacobs plan all along was to be a weight bully and he survived the 3rd round beating because of it.

Facts

Advantage in weight, height, reach, speed, age and still lost BC he refused to come forward and engage GGG... Only himself and his trainer to blame. Trainer even said at one point - stop running away.. Walk away.

Its all on tape

Next time GGG team have to make sure there will be no Friday morning weigh-in funny business. Second weigh-in is less important.

if it only took a couple of extra pounds to give Golovkin problems..... then how the fk was he going to live with Andre Ward?

GGG is small and would have re hydrated the same anyway right?
